Chapter 116: Eight Shames
There are only two kinds of countries in the world, one is strong and the other is weak.
In the face of a strong country, a weak country can only pretend to be a grandson, can only bow down to the vassals, can only be slaughtered, or even be annihilated, or even exterminated.
In that year, Carthage fought Rome, Carthage was defeated in three battles, and finally the kingdom was broken, 550,000 inhabitants were slaughtered, and most of the rest were sold into slavery and lived in all directions; Later, Western Rome was defeated by the barbarians, the city of Rome was destroyed, and the Roman people were either slaughtered or sold into slavery.
When the new shipping route was opened, the Europeans fought fiercely against the Indians, 400 million Indians were slaughtered, and the majority became a minority;
In Hitler's time, millions of Jews were exterminated.
In later generations, the Yankees even attacked Iraq and destroyed Saddam Hussein under a trumped-up pretext, and no one dared to say it.
This is the tragedy of a weak country, the sorrow of a weak country, as a weak country, you must be a good man-made sword, and I am prepared for fish and meat.
However, killing people is not enough, and there must be a line left in doing things.
As a powerful country, it is good to buy people's hearts, to ease contradictions, or to rule better. In short, will give the surrenderer, a decent; To those who surrendered, relative dignity.
The Wei State destroyed the Shu State, and it was still named Liu Chan as the Marquis of Anle, and he was well fed and fed; The Tang Dynasty took away the Sui Dynasty, and it still treated the Yang family preferentially, in order to buy people's hearts; Zhao Kuangyin seized the country of Hou Zhou, and he had to treat the Chai family well; Even if the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Li Yu was also named a disobedient marquis.
Even Zhao Guangyi, who lacked virtue and smoked, finally killed Li Yu, but he was killed by poisonous wine, not by cutting off his head at the mouth of the vegetable market.
The reason why this is so is for the sake of decency, for the sake of respecting the enemy.
Only by respecting the enemy can the people in the conquered areas feel more comfortable, can they rule better, and can they have better stability.
In short, when a strong country destroys a weak country, it is always inevitable to burn, kill, loot, and humiliate people's wives and daughters. But at least take a fig leaf to hide the ugliness. kill, burn and loot, but also keep a low profile, don't make it known to everyone; insult people's wives and daughters, and hide them to save face for themselves.
But the Jin army was good, and it made a lot of noise, as if he was afraid that the world did not know their notoriety. Song Huizong died and did not even leave his bones, and the corpse had already been boiled into lamp oil; And Song Qinzong was trampled to death by a chaotic horse. And those royal women were reduced to comfort women.
In short, all this Jin Jun did completely exceeded the bottom line, and even the last trace of disguise, even the last bit of decency, was completely discarded.
Han Gaozu made peace with the Xiongnu and sacrificed women in exchange, which was the first shame;
Shi Jingjiao is willing to be the "child emperor", betraying the land and recognizing the thief as his father, which is the second shame;
The alliance of the Song Dynasty was the first to set a precedent for reparations and peace, which was the third shame;
Jingkang's change, the dignity of the king was trampled on, this is the fourth shame;
Shaoxing negotiated peace, forgot the shame, and was willing to be the emperor, which is the fifth shame;
Ming was destroyed by Houjin, "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head", and the clothes do not exist, which is the sixth shame;
The Old Summer Palace was burned and the national treasure was taken away, which is the seventh shame;
The 918 incident and the policy of non-resistance are the eighth shame.
Among the eight shames, the scars left by Jingkang's shame will never be erased, and it will affect the Chinese in later generations. In later generations, when the Central Plains Dynasty collapsed, there were few kings who surrendered, and the kings were even more proud of their deaths.
…………
At this time, Song Qinzong reluctantly embarked on the road to the Jin army.
After arriving at the Jin camp, Song Qinzong was treated extremely coldly, Zong Wang and Zong Han did not meet him at all, and placed him in three huts in the west wing of the military camp Zhai Palace. The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, except for the tables and chairs, there is only an earthen kang for sleeping, and two seats of felt. The outside of the house was closely guarded by the Jin soldiers, and the door of the house was also locked with iron chains by the Jin soldiers at dusk, and the monarchs and ministers of Song Qinzong completely lost their freedom of movement.
At this time, it is the cold winter wax moon, and the rain and snow in Kaifeng are continuous, and the weather is surprisingly cold. In addition to enduring the torture of hunger during the day, Song Qinzong also had to endure the biting cold wind at night, tossing and turning, and could not sleep.
"In spring, it is also a time when the weather is cold and freezing, and none of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, more than a dozen princes, dares to go to Jinying. At that time, the thirteenth brother Zhao Pu resolutely sent an envoy to Jinying, and when he said goodbye, the thirteenth brother didn't take anything, just took the fur fur, in order to prevent freezing; and took two bags of steamed steamed buns, in order to prevent hunger; Later, he took a dagger in order to commit suicide when he was humiliated. ”
At that time, I was still secretly laughing in my heart, and the thirteenth brother thought about it too much. How could Jin Jun be so rude. Although he is a hostage, he will inevitably be courteous and have no worries about food and clothing............ Everything that comes to mind there is true. Jin Jun actually treated me like this? ”
Anger flashed in Song Qinzong's eyes, but after a moment of anger, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach, and that little porridge was not enough to eat; Then there were a few shivers on his body, there was no brazier in the house, no animal charcoal, and it was very cold. At this time, I felt a little regret in my heart, why did I bring more food, why did I put on a few more clothes.
"I don't know where the thirteenth brother's soldiers and horses are? Legend has it that the thirteenth brother has an army of 100,000, but in fact it is only in the early 10,000s. ”
Song Qinzong asked himself, the answer was obvious, it was cruel, he didn't want to accept it, but all this was true. If the thirteenth brother was smart, he would never come to Bianliang, the place of execution, Zhang Shuye had already set up in Bianliang, and many of the teachers of King Qin were also set up in Bianliang. At this time, the fall of Bianliang is already a foregone conclusion.
The only thing that can be done is how to protect the people...... Or to save his life, if he can save Zhao Song Sheji, it would be better.
It's just that the situation is a little less optimistic.
Originally, Song Qinzong originally thought that most of the surrender of the Jin army was to go to the Jin country as a hostage, and was named an insulting marquis, such as Li Yu and others, who were insulted and lived extremely aggrieved. Now it seems that there is something wrong with him, and how good can he be to the people if he is so rude to a king!
…………
When Song Qinzong was nervous and fearful, the high-level of the Jin army quarreled violently.
The high-level leaders of the Jin Army, who were constantly arguing, naturally did not have the time or energy to pay attention to Song Qinzong, the waste emperor.
The Jin army was victorious, but the familiarization of victory was too fast, and it was too fast to digest the fruits of victory.
It's like a snake killing an elephant, which was a very happy thing, but tragically found that it couldn't swallow the elephant at all, and even if it was swallowed, it couldn't digest it.
The speed of the Jin army's victory was too fast, and in less than a year, the capital of the Song army was breached; When the Liao was destroyed, it took five years to break through the Linhuang Mansion. Because the victory was too fast, he was not ready to accept a large area of territory, and at this moment, all kinds of cultural and political talents were extremely scarce. This is doomed, even if Bianliang is broken, it will eventually have to retreat to the Youyun region.
Retreat is inevitable, and when Hedong, Hebei and other places are not stabilized, they will not stay in Bianliang for too long.
For a period of time in the future, the main energy of the Jin army will be used to consolidate Hebei, Hedong and other places, and it will inevitably retreat from Bianliang. It's just that before withdrawing from the army, it is necessary to deal with a series of issues, such as whether to destroy the Song Dynasty, whether to abolish the throne of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, how to manage the vast areas of the Central Plains, and so on.
In the big tent of the Jin Army, Wan Yan Sticky Han, Wan Yan Buli and others clashed violently.
"The two Song Emperors must abdicate and be escorted to Huining Mansion!" Wanyan said viciously.
"It's better to keep the position of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, let him be called a minister, like Shi Jingjiao, and be our emperor." Wan Yan did not leave, but put forward diametrically opposed opinions.
"Fight the snake and don't die, bite people, the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, many times against our dynasty, with this advantage, just destroy the country, imprison its king, if you let it go, but it is a group of troubles, it seems that a prince of the Song Dynasty once said, where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all; The hard-working people do not live up to the sky, and the salary tastes the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu. If the two Song emperors are retained, these two kings will be ruined and ruined, and our dynasty will inevitably reproduce the sorrow of the Yue Kingdom! ”
"Dead dogs can't hold up the wall, can these two waste emperors become Gou Jian, can they become the overlords of Chu?" Wan Yan didn't leave, but he smiled disdainfully.
